When most people hear of Isaiah House, the first thing that crosses their minds is the fact that it’s a drug and alcohol treatment center.

While that is the case, there’s much more going on in the facility to help the men who seek treatment there.

David Cobb, public relations and marketing manager for Isaiah House, said the facility also offers job skills training to get Isaiah House clients ready for employment and life after their treatment is complete.

A Washington County man died last week in a one-vehicle automobile accident.

According to Kentucky State Police, 25-year-old Dylan Cheatham was killed Monday, July 31, when he lost control of the 2003 Toyota Corolla he was driving on KY 152. The vehicle crossed the westbound lane, left the roadway and struck an embankment and a tree, according to a report from KSP Trooper Jonathan Carlock.

He’s only been a professional since 2012, but Springfield resident Phillip Haydon is one of the best cornhole players in the world.

Haydon recently won his second doubles world championship in as many years. He and his playing partner, Daymon Dennis, of Brownsville, Kentucky, won the American Cornhole League doubles title July 22 in Cherokee, North Carolina.

“We won the senior division, which is 55 and over. There were 30-some teams in it,” Haydon said.

A lot of changes have taken place in education across Washington County since last school year. Washington County Elementary School is now in a different building, there’s a new principal at Washington County High School, and there are plenty of other, smaller changes too numerous to mention.

With those changes often comes concern, and that’s what led one Washington County educator to host a prayer walk last week in preparation for the start of the new school year.
